Mormon History, May 26, 1846

Revelation to Brigham Young, President of the Quorum of the Twelve, received at Mount Pisgah of the Camp of Israel, Middle Fork of the Grand River, Iowa Territory [about two miles west of present Thayer, Iowa] on 26 May 1846
I told Daniel and Orson Spencer that the Spirit said to me,
Tell Daniel [Spencer] to gather up what teams, tools, seeds, and men he can and go on and let Orson [Spencer] stay and take care of the families and bring them on.
(Manuscript History of Brigham Young, 26 May 1846, typed copy, quotation marks omitted, LDS archives)
